The Art of Electronics: The x-Chapters complements the third edition, delving into advanced and novel topics in electronics. It serves as a vital resource for students and professionals, offering unique techniques and insights into electronic circuit design and analysis, enriching any electronics library.
This introduction to circuit design is unusual in several respects. First, it offers not just explanations, but a full course. Each of the twenty-five sessions begins with a discussion of a particular sort of circuit followed by the chance to try it out and see how it actually behaves. Accordingly, students understand the circuit's operation in a way that is deeper and much more satisfying than the manipulation of formulas. Second, it describes circuits that more traditional engineering introductions would postpone: on the third day, we build a radio receiver; on the fifth day, we build an operational amplifier from an array of transistors. The digital half of the course centers on applying microcontrollers, but gives exposure to Verilog, a powerful Hardware Description Language. Third, it proceeds at a rapid pace but requires no prior knowledge of electronics. Students gain intuitive understanding through immersion in good circuit design.
Covers the wide range of topics in the field of electronics, from transistors and microprocessors to signal processing and circuit design
Carefully organized to follow the text of The Art of Electronics, this manual is an essential companion because of its supplementary explanatory notes, worked examples, solutions to selected exercises and laboratory exercises.
